Viking Trefoil Brooch or Pin - Borre Style Viking Art - in Silver or Bronze

Trefoil brooches or pins such as this were often worn by jarls and chieftains to mark authority. Or sometimes silver brooches would be worn and bartered for goods and services. Regardless of the occasion, this trefoil brooch can be worn with anything and fit a variety of purposes. It is inspired by the Viking "Borre" art style, and was designed with abstracted animalistic segments. The central part of the brooch features what is known as a "gripping beast" style in which the hands of the portrayed creatures reach out to grab other aspects of the design. While we don't recommend using this one to hold together a heavy cloak, it certainly could be used to fasten together a light cape or scarf, or simply worn as decoration on the outside of a garment.
